Saturday, May 14, 2011. I'm coming home. Tomorrow morning at 4:30 in the morning, I will wake up and go to the airport and actually be coming home. I can't believe it. What's funny is saying goodbye to everyone, and saying goodbye to a place I never thought I'd go, a place I still don't understand why I came to, really. I'm so interested to see how I'll feel about everything a year from now, or five. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Are you done with me yet Jordan? Going to blog about almost being home. I was.

Assault Cake | Amman aMusings
http://ammanamusings.blogspot.com/2011/04/assault-cake.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. There were some things that I had been thinking about blogging yesterday that were about how I only have three weeks left here and I feel as if I haven't been here at all, or about how differently I think about hijab now and generally more academic, more calm topics. However, all of these topics are dwarfed by what happened on this very innocuous morning in Jordan. I come in and megan is watching a bootlegged copy of The Fountain. I forget how to swear myself in! Instead of the u...

Saturday, January 29, 2011. Previously Promised Panic Post. Wasn't that some fun alliteration? Well first off Justin Bieber has a movie coming out about his rise to terrifying teen stardom called ‘Never Say Never’…in 3-D. Let that. One soak in for a bit. Let it be known this is not the planned freak out post that was supposed to happen right before I left. I knew this would happen. I’m not actually. Going to panic until either:. It must be addressed. What is going on. In the Middle East right now? I̵...

Monday, May 2, 2011. Well Osama Bin Laden is dead. But something about Obama's speech is just a little disturbing. He pulled out some very odd "prosperity" connotations saying things like, "we [Americans] can do anything we set our minds to".like going on a killing spree for ten years until we find this guy? Here's the transcription of the speech as well as a video so you can watch if you missed it for some reason: Obama Speech. But Megan told em this would not be an analogy received well and told em to ...

Friday, March 25, 2011. I made Guacamole.Oh and there's that Protest Thing. I'm going to try my best here to help you understand what it feels like to be in Jordan right now. Because you aren't here and I am! Well first of all, here's an article from the BBC:. Other than my daily commute facing a few mushkilahs, really everything's great, especially because it's just my little brother's memory card that got broken. Along with that, tonight we went up to the roof to observe the police and people everywher...

Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Are you done with me yet Jordan? What to even blog about, I just don't know. I was. Planning on blogging about my trip to Jerash/Heaven with some friends. I was. Going to blog about almost being home. I was. Intending on blogging about my final presentation of my ISP. Alas, none of this will be blogged about, at least not right now. Why is that? Because I got sick. I KNOW. If you know me well enough at all, you know. That I do not. Here's the best part. I HATE absolutely ABHOR ...

WHAT? | Amman aMusings
http://ammanamusings.blogspot.com/2011/05/what.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. I come home in nine days, officially. This cannot be. I know I've been full of complaints/anthropological rants/general anxiousness to return to my lovely state alas, at the prospect of returning so soon, I can only think of one word to describe how I feel: terrified. Have I been taking full advantage of being here? Have I been appreciating everything as much as possible? Have I learned anything? I love that I'm not constantly expected. To be by my phone and available to people to ta...

Monday, February 28, 2011. I did not get proposed to, did not eat a lamb's head, and did not shower. What I did. Do was learn a little bit and watch a lot about what it meant to be a woman. Silence is something that I thought I was comfortable with. I thought that I was superb at being silent with myself and with other people. I've always been a fan of the quotation from the movie. Did the silence get more comfortable? Being a terrible imposition upon them and that she is not annoying or disappointing to...
